Name: Pinus palustris - Pinus clausa / Quercus laevis / Sporobolus junceus Woodland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This vegetation type is found in degraded sandhills of Panhandle Florida. Stands contain a mixture of <i>Pinus palustris</i> and <i>Pinus clausa</i> in the canopy. A well-developed midstory of several hardwood species is usually present, often dominated by <i>Quercus laevis</i>, in addition to a well-developed shrub layer. Herbaceous species are generally sparse, and overall species richness is low when compared to other <i>Pinus palustris</i> communities. This community is apparently the result of past fire suppression and/or soil disturbance, allowing the invasion of the less fire-tolerant <i>Pinus clausa</i> into <i>Pinus palustris</i> sandhills.
